Sharp $$L^p$$ estimates for oscillatory integral operators of arbitrary signature

The sharp range of $$L^p$$ L p -estimates for the class of Hörmander-type oscillatory integral operators is established in all dimensions under a general signature assumption on the phase. This simultaneously generalises earlier work of the authors and Guth, which treats the maximal signature case, and also work of Stein and Bourgain–Guth, which treats the minimal signature case.

Fast Computation of Highly Oscillatory ODE Problems: Applications in High-Frequency Communication Circuits

The paper demonstrates symmetric integral operator and interpolation based numerical approximations for linear and nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with oscillatory factor x′=ψ(x)+χω(t), where the function χω(t) is an oscillatory forcing term. These equations appear in a variety of computational problems occurring in Fourier analysis, computational harmonic analysis, fluid dynamics, electromagnetics, and quantum mechanics. Classical methods such as Runge–Kutta methods etc. fail to approximate the oscillatory ODEs due the existence of oscillatory term χω(t). Two types of methods are presented to approximate highly oscillatory ODEs. The first method uses radial basis function interpolation, and then quadrature rules are used to evaluate the integral part of the solution equation. The second approach is more generic and can approximate highly oscillatory and nonoscillatory initial value problems. Accordingly, the first-order initial value problem with oscillatory forcing term is transformed into highly oscillatory integral equation. The transformed symmetric oscillatory integral equation is then evaluated numerically by the Levin collocation method. Finally, the nonlinear form of the initial value problems with an oscillatory forcing term is converted into a linear form using Bernoulli’s transformation. The resulting linear oscillatory problem is then computed by the Levin method. Results of the proposed methods are more reliable and accurate than some state-of-the-art methods such as asymptotic method, etc. The improved results are shown in the numerical section.

Formal oscillatory distributions

The formal asymptotic expansion of an oscillatory integral whose phase function has one nondegenerate critical point is a formal distribution supported at the critical point which is applied to the amplitude. This formal distribution is called a formal oscillatory integral (FOI). We introduce the notion of a formal oscillatory distribution supported at a point. We prove that a formal distribution is given by some FOI if and only if it is an oscillatory distribution that has a certain nondegeneracy property. We also prove that a star product ⋆ on a Poisson manifold M is natural in the sense of Gutt and Rawnsley if and only if the formal distribution f ⊗ g ↦ ( f ⋆ g ) ( x ) is oscillatory for every x ∈ M.

Strichartz estimates for orthonormal families of initial data and weighted oscillatory integral estimates

We establish new Strichartz estimates for orthonormal families of initial data in the case of the wave, Klein–Gordon and fractional Schrödinger equations. Our estimates extend those of Frank–Sabin in the case of the wave and Klein–Gordon equations, and generalize work of Frank et al. and Frank–Sabin for the Schrödinger equation. Due to a certain technical barrier, except for the classical Schrödinger equation, the Strichartz estimates for orthonormal families of initial data have not previously been established up to the sharp summability exponents in the full range of admissible pairs. We obtain the optimal estimates in various notable cases and improve the previous results. The main novelty of this paper is our derivation and use of estimates for weighted oscillatory integrals, which we combine with an approach due to Frank and Sabin. Our weighted oscillatory integral estimates are, in a certain sense, rather delicate endpoint versions of known dispersive estimates with power-type weights of the form $|\xi |^{-\lambda }$ or $(1 + |\xi |^2)^{-\lambda /2}$ , where $\lambda \in \mathbb {R}$ . We achieve optimal decay rates by considering such weights with appropriate $\lambda \in \mathbb {C}$ . For the wave and Klein–Gordon equations, our weighted oscillatory integral estimates are new. For the fractional Schrödinger equation, our results overlap with prior work of Kenig–Ponce–Vega in a certain regime. Our contribution to the theory of weighted oscillatory integrals has also been influenced by earlier work of Carbery–Ziesler, Cowling et al., and Sogge–Stein. Finally, we provide some applications of our new Strichartz estimates for orthonormal families of data to the theory of infinite systems of Hartree type, weighted velocity averaging lemmas for kinetic transport equations, and refined Strichartz estimates for data in Besov spaces.

Square function inequality for a class of Fourier integral operators satisfying cinematic curvature conditions

In this paper, we establish an improved variable coefficient version of the square function inequality, by which the local smoothing estimate {L^{p}_{\alpha}\to L^{p}} for the Fourier integral operators satisfying cinematic curvature condition is further improved. In particular, we establish almost sharp results for {2<p\leqslant 3} and push forward the estimate for the critical point {p=4}. As a consequence, the local smoothing estimate for the wave equation on the manifold is refined. We generalize the results in [S. Lee and A. Vargas, On the cone multiplier in \mathbb{R}^{3}, J. Funct. Anal. 263 2012, 4, 925–940; J. Lee, A trilinear approach to square function and local smoothing estimates for the wave operator, preprint 2018, https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.08426v5] to its variable coefficient counterpart. The main ingredients in the argument includes multilinear oscillatory integral estimate [J. Bennett, A. Carbery and T. Tao, On the multilinear restriction and Kakeya conjectures, Acta Math. 196 2006, 2, 261–302] and decoupling inequality [D. Beltran, J. Hickman and C. D. Sogge, Variable coefficient Wolff-type inequalities and sharp local smoothing estimates for wave equations on manifolds, Anal. PDE 13 2020, 2, 403–433].
